NCCN Guidelines Version 1.2016 Updates

Anal Carcinoma

Updates in Version 1.2016 of the NCCN Guidelines for Anal Carcinoma from Version 2.2015 include:

ANAL-1

• Workup; bullet 2, sub-bullet 1 modied: “Consider biopsy or FNA if suspicious nodes.”

• Workup; bullet 3 modied: “Chest/abdominal/pelvic CT or + pelvic CT or  MRI”

• Workup; bullet 3, sub-bullet 1 modied: “Consider PET scan for T2-4, N0 or Any T, N+”

• Footnote “c” added: “CT should be with IV and oral contrast. Pelvic MRI with contrast.” (also applies to ANAL-2)

• Clinical Stage: T and N categories combined to “locoregional” disease.

ANAL-2

• Workup; bullet 2, sub-bullet 1 modied: “Consider biopsy or FNA if suspicious nodes.”

• Workup; bullet 3 modied: “Chest/abdominal/pelvic CT or + pelvic CT or  MRI”

• Workup; bullet 3, sub-bullet 1 modied: “Consider PET scan for T2-4, N0 or Any T, N+”

ANAL-3

• Surveillance: Anoscopy schedule changed from every 3–6 mo for 5 y to every 6–12 mo x 3 y 

ANAL-B• Bullet 6 modied: “For T2 lesions with residual disease after 45 Gy, T3/4 lesions, or N1 lesions, an additional boost of 9–14 Gy in 1.8–2 Gy

fractions to the original primary tumor volume and involved nodes plus a 2–2.5 cm margin is usually delivered.”

• Bullet 7 modied: “The consensus of the panel is that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) may be used in place of is preferred over  

3-D conformal RT in the treatment of anal carcinoma. IMRT requires expertise and careful target design to avoid reduction in local control by

so-called ‘marginal-miss.’ The clinical target volumes for anal cancer used in the RTOG-0529 trial have been described in detail. The outcome

results of RTOG-0529 have been reported.” 

• Reference added: “Kachnic LA, Winter K, Myerson RJ, et al. RTOG 0529: a phase 2 evaluation of dose-painted intensity modulated radiation

therapy in combination with 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin-C for the reduction of acute morbidity in carcinoma of the anal canal. Int J Radiat

ANAL-1

aThe superior border of the functional anal canal, separating it from the rectum, has been defined as the palpable upper border of the anal sphincter and puborectalismuscles of the anorectal ring. It is approximately 3 to 5 cm in length, and its inferior border starts at the anal verge, the lowermost edge of the sphincter muscles,corresponding to the introitus of the anal orifice.

bFor melanoma histology, see the NCCN Guidelines for Melanoma; for adenocarcinoma, see the NCCN Guidelines for Rectal Cancer .cCT should be with IV and oral contrast. Pelvic MRI with contrast.dPET-CT scan does not replace a diagnostic CT. The routine use of a PET-CT scan for staging or treatment planning has not been validated.ePatients with anal cancer as the first manifestation of HIV may be treated with the same regimen as non-HIV patients. Patients with active HIV/AIDS-related

complications or a history of complications (eg, malignancies, opportunistic infections) may not tolerate full-dose therapy or may not tolerate mitomycin and requiredosage adjustment or treatment without mitomycin.

f See Principles of Chemotherapy (ANAL-A).gSee Principles of Radiation Therapy (ANAL-B).hCisplatin/5-FU is recommended for metastatic disease. If this regimen fails, no other regimens have been shown to be effective.

See Principles of Chemotherapy ANAL-A. Local control can be achieved with the use of RT. jIf a patient with an initially tethered tumor returns 6 weeks post RT with a mobile but suspicious mass, consider biopsy.kBased on the results of the ACT-II study, it may be appropriate to follow patients who have not achieved a complete clinical response with persistent anal cancer up to 6 months following

completion of radiation therapy and chemotherapy as long as there is no evidence of progressive disease during this period of follow-up.

Version 1.2016, 11/04/15 © National Comprehensive Cancer Network, Inc. 2015, All rights reserved. The NCCN Guidelines ® and this illustration may not be reproduced in any form without the express written permission of NCCN ®.

Note: All recommendations are category 2A unless otherwise indicated.

Clinical Trials: NCCN believes that the best management of any cancer patient is in a clinical trial. Participation in clinical trials is especially encouraged.

• Multield techniques with supervoltage radiation (photon energy of >6 mV) should be used to deliver a minimum dose of 45 Gy in 1.8 Gy-

fractions (25 fractions over 5 weeks) to the primary cancer.

• PET-CT should be considered for treatment planning.• The inguinal nodes and the pelvis, anus, and perineum should be included in the initial radiation elds. The superior eld border should

be at L5-S1, and the inferior border should include the anus with a minimum 2.5-cm margin around the anus and tumor. The lateral border

should include the lateral inguinal nodes (as determined from imaging or bony landmarks). There should be attempts to reduce the dose to

the femoral heads.

• After 17 fractions (30.6 Gy), an additional 14.4 Gy should be given in 8 fractions with the superior eld reduced to the bottom of the sacroiliac

 joints. Additional eld reduction off inguinal nodes should occur after 36 Gy for node-negative lesions. This protocol brings the total dose to

45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks.

• For patients treated using an AP-PA technique, rather than the recommended multield technique, the dose to the lateral inguinal region

should be brought to the minimum dose of 36 Gy using an anterior electron boost matched to the PA exit eld.

• For T2 lesions, T3/4 lesions, or N1 lesions, an additional boost of 9–14 Gy in 1.8–2 Gy fractions to the original primary tumor volume and

involved nodes plus a 2–2.5 cm margin is usually delivered. This boost brings the total dose to 54–59 Gy in 30–32 fractions over 6–7.5weeks. A direct perineal boost using photons or electrons with the patient in lithotomy position or a multield photon approach (AP-PA plus

paired laterals, PA + laterals, or other) can be used.

• The consensus of the panel is that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is preferred over 3-D conformal RT in the treatment of anal

carcinoma.2 IMRT requires expertise and careful target design to avoid reduction in local control by so-called “marginal-miss.”3 The clinical

target volumes for anal cancer used in the RTOG-0529 trial have been described in detail.2 The outcome results of RTOG-0529 have been

reported.4 

Also see http://atc.wustl.edu/protocols/rtog-closed/0529/ANAL_Ca_CTVs_5-21-07_Final.pdf  for more details of the contouring atlas dened

by RTOG.

• Side effect management:

Female patients should be considered for vaginal dilators and instructed on the symptoms of vaginal stenosis.Male patients should be counseled on infertility risks and given information regarding sperm banking.

Female patients should be counseled on infertility risks and given information regarding oocyte, egg, or ovarian tissue banking prior to

treatment.
